Pew Report on Livestock Production to be Released
Published Thursday, April 24, 2008 at 04:43 AM
Commission members are saying - agriculture must address the welfare issues and public health risks occasioned by animal production systems. Commission member James Merchant of the University of Iowa says he doesn’t think – shackling the industry is indicated. He said we want to have a –healthy livestock industry – but it needs to live within limits established by society.
The decline of the traditional family farm and industry consolidation has meant greater efficiency and lowered costs for producers. But, commission members cite a new – social ethic – that is changing the way Americans view animal welfare.
